Rothco Quarter Zip Acrylic Commando Sweater

I'll keep it simple. It is a nice sweater, but as some reviewers mentioned, it is tight in the body. I'm 6'9", floating between 265-270 lbs, with a 50" chest, 38-40" waist depending on beer intake, 17 1/2" neck, and 38" sleeves. I ordered a 2x, and I can feel it in the chest and armpits. It's not unbearable, and maybe it will wear in as time goes on, but as of now, it is tight in the chest and collar when the neck is zipped up. It's definitely a warm sweater, the sleeves are plenty long enough, the hem goes down to just at my belt (a normal height person would probably have most of their groin covered by the hem). I did read the reviews on here, and I did go up a size accordingly from my standard XL, but for my own comfort, I think I will reorder in a 3x, just to be certain I'm not getting bound up under my arms. The shoulder and elbow pads haven't been taken through the wash or any heavy rubbing yet, but they appear to be some kind of velvet, likely acrylic, and not sueded leather like some of the negative review pictures (maybe this was a design improvement?).

I wanted a professional looking sweater, simple, go with a name I can trust? Right? Wrong. I unpacked this sweater that arrived on time in a very well packaged box that rest assured everyone else did their best job. First off my wife loved the way it looked on me, it was 'slimming' as I wore it the first day. I have a shift as a security officer, at a medical facility, there is no strenuous activity, I walk about three miles on a shift. I do not walk on my shoulders.I have a backpack, like 99% of the people I know, the 25 feet to my car from home, the 60 feet back and forth to my car at work and the 25 feet to get back into the house. Not much, I know. I added a picture of the straps to show they are of good quality and not fraying or that could do significant damage. I got home after my second day of using this sweater and to my surprise I see the poor quality peaking through on the shoulders. If I had a 50 mile hike with a ruk sack...maybe. not like this. Buyer beware. I have not contacted the vendor of this poor quality, I feel if this is what they shipped me this is what they are shipping everyone. I will fix this myself.Pros. The sweater is warm and slimming, fits as expected, I have the 2xl and it fits on my stature comfortably. I love the zipper and the look of the 1/4 zipper, this is what I was looking for. The sweater itself appears to be of good quality, I was warm the two days I have worked in it. All in all it does the job. If the shoulders did not fray, it would look professional to wear in the office environment and look good.Cons- at this moment the shoulders is the downfall, my appearance is not squared away looking tattered.This is not worth the price, at this moment I would strongly recommend to find another product. I will.

To start, the primary function of the sweater is to maintain warmth. It does this wonderfully. It even blocks some wind (I was perfectly fine wearing this is in the 28 degrees F, 30 MPH wind in my area).At 6'8" and around 275, the 3XL fits well. The sleeves are a tad bit long (I have 39 for sleeve length), but that is not too much of an issue.The second function is to look smart and professional. This works wonders for you....until you wash it.The elbow and shoulder patch areas immediately started coming off for reasons unknown. I did not see a warning saying not to wash it in a machine. I hang dry the sweater, so it must be the washer destroying the shoulders and elbows. Overall, if you can find a way to wash the sweater without destroying the patch areas, it will be an excellent sweater to wear for both professional and casual outings. If you do not want to worry about it, I will urge you to find something else. Overall, this is a sweater that functions well but has some spots of low quality.

This is a very good sweater. Comfortable, and well made. Time will tell, but it appears to be very hardy and made to last. One caveat... I normally wear a XX, which leaves me room to move without being restrictive. This XX is a snug fit, so if you are looking for more wiggle room you may want to keep that in mind. Overall a great sweater.

I have worn this sweater 4 or 5 times. The top layer of the elbow and shoulder pads have worn off. It runs small. I bought a XL, I would recommend buying a size larger than you think you might need. This is not holding up well at all.

great looking sweater, a a very tight weave of acrylic makes for a comfortable fit. I ordered an xxl, usually take an xl, and it fits fine. by looking at the ends of the sleeves, it is pretty obvious that the sleeves are meant to be folded up. the patch material is flimsy but the wife says she can replace with the real deal when it becomes necessary. this is a great deal for the money. NOTE: the color I received is more of a darker "military green" than what is pictured. Not sure if it would hold up for a "duty" sweater.

Have had this just a few days, but already is my go-to to stay comfortable and warm. Love the styling and snug fit. No idea about how it will hold up you repeated washings to but will update this review when I find out.This is my second Rothco sweater. I've been very happy with both for style and comfort.

I was so excited to buy this sweater for my husband. When he received it he loved it and it fit wonderful. The sleeves are very long so anyone with shorter arms will have to roll up the sleeves. Once my husband wore this sweter and I washed it (in a front loader, cold water, handwash cycle) the patches on the shoulders and elbows have lost some of the fabric. I don't even know how to explain. The patches are made up of this imitation suade material that is so cheap it chipped and is missing in many of the places. I am very dissapointed in the low quality of this product. It would be a very nice sweater but the quality is garbage. Do not waste your money on this item.

Sweater must be a manufacturer deffect as it is way too small for a xxl ..That being said I contacted seller ( that does not manufacture the sweater ) but sells it . They were 100% supportive and resolved problem without delay .. I would purchase from this seller again .. thank you .

The material of the sweater was good, but sizes were fitting in both purchases

So I bought this sweater because I like the style and it had a 1/4 zip neck.The item itself seems well made, fits as it should.After one wearing for a short period of time, iI noticed the shoulder reinforcing patches peeling. It's a very light, thin suede-type material. Both shoulders.Now, I wasn't wearing a backpack or anything.I have requested a refund or exchange for another product, but have not got a reply as of yet. Hope they see this review and contact me soon. For 70 $(CAN), this sweater is not up to par.I will update and upgrade my review after they contact me.Must say, I bought another commando sweater from Rothco and is got different reinforcing material. Much better. This was a dissappointment.

This sweater is excellent! Very well-made, quality material. It fits perfectly and is very comfortable. I would definitely recommend us and I would definitely buy another.
